You sit on a chair, fully clothed, for about half an hour. It delivers electromagnetic energy that contracts your pelvic floor muscles thousands of times — far more than anyone can manage voluntarily. It is used for leaking when you cough, laugh or run, for urgency, and for postpartum weakness. No undressing, no downtime, and you can drive home.
Let's just say it
You Are Not the Only One, and It Isn't Normal
Two things women get told that are both wrong.
The first is that leaking after children, or after fifty, is just how it is now. It is common. Common and normal are not the same word, and treating it as inevitable is how women end up planning their lives around toilets for thirty years.
The second is that you should just do more Kegels. Most people do them incorrectly — bracing the wrong muscles, or holding their breath — and even done properly you might manage a few dozen contractions in a session. This gets you thousands, at an intensity you cannot generate voluntarily.
Nobody has to look at anything or examine you for the treatment itself. You keep your clothes on and you sit down. That is genuinely the whole experience, and it is the single most common thing patients tell us they wish they had known sooner.
What it helps
Who Comes In For This
- Stress LeakingCoughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting, running
- UrgencyNeeding to go suddenly, and knowing where every toilet is
- PostpartumWeakness that has not recovered, months or years later
- Post-MenopauseWhere tissue changes have made things worse
- Men TooIncluding after prostate surgery
- Core SupportThe pelvic floor is part of your core, not separate from it
The plan
How Many Sessions, and When Will I Notice?
A course is typically six sessions over about three weeks — usually two a week, because the muscle responds better to frequent stimulus than to a monthly appointment.
Most people notice a change somewhere around the third or fourth session, and improvement continues for a few weeks after the course finishes, as muscle adaptation catches up.
After that, maintenance sessions keep it there. Like any muscle, it detrains if you leave it entirely alone.
We will also ask you to keep a simple record of symptoms — how often, how much, what triggered it. Improvement here is gradual enough that memory flatters or punishes you, and the notes are how you see it honestly.
What to expect
In the Chair
- BeforeA provider evaluation first. New or changed urinary symptoms need proper assessment rather than an assumption that the cause is muscular.
- Sitting downFully clothed, on the chair. We start low and build the intensity with you rather than at you.
- DuringA strong tapping or pulling sensation deep in the pelvis, and your muscles contracting without you doing it. Odd at first, not painful.
- AfterwardsNothing. Drive home, go back to work. Some people notice mild muscle fatigue, exactly as after a workout.
Not suitable if you are pregnant, or if you have certain metal implants or electronic implanted devices. Tell us at your evaluation — that is precisely what it is for.

Questions We Get Asked Most
Do I have to undress for pelvic floor treatment?
No. You sit on the chair fully clothed for the whole session. Nobody examines you and nothing is inserted. This is the thing patients most often say they wish they had known before putting it off.
Does it hurt?
No. You feel a strong tapping or pulling deep in the pelvis and your muscles contracting on their own, which is strange for the first few minutes and then simply becomes the sensation. We start at a low intensity and build it with you.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually six over about three weeks, typically two a week, because the muscle responds better to frequent stimulus. Most people notice a change around the third or fourth session, and improvement continues for a few weeks after the course ends.
Is this better than doing Kegels?
It reaches an intensity and volume you cannot generate voluntarily — thousands of contractions in a session rather than a few dozen. It also removes the technique problem, since most people perform Kegels incorrectly without realising. Kegels remain useful alongside it.
Is leaking after childbirth normal?
It is common, which is not the same as normal or inevitable. Treating it as something to live with is how women end up organising their lives around it for decades. It is treatable, and the treatment is not invasive.
Can men have this treatment?
Yes. Men are treated for incontinence and pelvic floor weakness, including after prostate surgery. The treatment and the appointment are the same.
Who cannot have pelvic floor strengthening?
It is not used during pregnancy, or where certain metal implants or electronic implanted devices are present. New or changed urinary symptoms also need proper medical assessment first, rather than assuming the cause is muscular. Both are covered at your evaluation.
Is there any downtime?
None. You drive yourself home and go back to your day. Some people notice mild muscle fatigue afterwards, in the same way as after any workout.
